In "Rage", Eduardo reveals to have an older brother, Carlos "Carl" Rivera, an NYPD officer who is angry with Eduardo for not being a police officer like the rest of their family, and thinks the Ghostbuster are a scam, which is why Eduardo kept his job a secret. In "The Unseen" he takes the rap for Kylie's mistake, not wanting "the worst day of her life to get any worse". In fact, in the episode "Darkness at Noon" he outright admitted to Kylie, who was possessed by a ghost at the time, that he felt an attraction of sorts when he saw her for the first time and even showed the intention of kissing her when Kylie asked him to.
He once said to Kylie herself that nothing was going to happen to her "while around". These feelings are further enforced in that he is usually the one to rescue Kylie from dangerous situations, and vice versa, in several episodes.
Eduardo has a long-running subplot dealing with a love/hate relationship between him and Kylie, although it is very much revealed "In Your Dreams" that he has intimate feelings and dreams about her. Eduardo, along with Garrett, resembles original Ghostbuster Peter Venkman in that, like Venkman, Eduardo is sarcastic, has a penchant for pursuing attractive women, and is generally unscientific and constantly spouts pop culture references. Eduardo Rivera (voiced by Rino Romano) – Seemingly a lazy, sarcastic and somewhat clueless character, Eduardo nevertheless makes himself an integral part of the team by being determined and reliable.

He's been living with Egon for over a decade now, and the two are closer than in the original series when trying to get Egon to discipline the ghost in "Glutton for Punishment", Janine says she knows the two have been through a lot together, and in "Slimer's Sacrifice" Egon immediately suits up to enter the Containment Unit to rescue him, but after he is attacked by the ghost, Eduardo goes in to save Slimer. He's got a strong rivalry with Eduardo, similar to the one he had with Peter Venkman, though several episodes show that Eduardo – and the other Ghostbusters – do care for him as much as he annoys them. His actions often affect the story, usually adversely, though he often acts to fix his mistakes and on a number of occasions has been shown to have a heroic nature and that he can wield a proton pack. Slimer is very well-meaning, but is often pushed around by the Ghostbusters as he gets in their way and eats continually. In "Fear Itself", it's revealed that Slimer is afraid of broccoli (which is ironic, as he has been shown to eat anything). However, he is given a less cartoony look to fit in with the series' overall style. Slimer (voiced by Billy West) – Slimer remains the most unchanged of all the characters in terms of personality.Recurring themes throughout the series are the new team learning to work together despite their differences, Janine's largely unrequited affection for Egon, the love-hate relationship between Kylie and Eduardo that is never resolved, and the Ghostbusters' frequent clashes with authority figures who disbelieve their work.įrom left to right in front: Garrett Miller, Slimer, Kylie Griffin, Eduardo Rivera, and Roland Jackson. This is reflected by the use of a gritty, rock/ punk-inspired variation of Ray Parker Jr.'s song " Ghostbusters" as the opening theme, written by Jim Latham and performed by voice actor Jim Cummings. The series is styled as a supernatural comedy, following the trend set by its predecessor, but given an updated and darker feel. The series follows the adventures of this "Next Generation" of Ghostbusters tracking down and capturing ghosts all over New York and occasionally beyond the city. Filling the cast are Janine Melnitz, the Ghostbusters' previous secretary who returns to the job, and Slimer, a hungry ghost. These are Kylie Griffin, who is a goth genius and expert on the occultism Eduardo Rivera, a cynical Latino slacker Garrett Miller, a young white paraplegic athlete who uses a wheelchair and Roland Jackson, a studious African-American machinery whiz. When ghosts start to reappear, Egon is forced to recruit his lone four students as the new Ghostbusters. Egon Spengler, who still lives in the firehouse to monitor the containment unit, take care of Slimer, further his studies and teach a class on the paranormal at a local college. Each member has gone their separate way, except for Dr. Set years after the end of The Real Ghostbusters, lack of supernatural activity has put the Ghostbusters out of business.
